*Please note, this session has moved from 28/04/17 to 07/06/2017*

Overview

The role of treasurers and other trustees in ensuring effective financial planning and safeguarding of voluntary organisations is vital. This session will help trustees to understand their role and come up with some practical actions they can take to ensure that they both safeguard the charity’s assets and ensure they are used effectively. This session will be useful for new trustees, those who have taken on the role of treasurer or chair and those who wish to refresh their knowledge.
